Patriots working out kickers

This is one of those misleading statements that people attribute to BB but if you think about it for a bit it makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes, you don't keep people based on their past performance but if you completely throw that out of the window how exactly will you project their future performances when it comes to contract negotiations.

If you are seriously trying to tell me that past performance is not an indicator BB is using to come up with whatever metric he uses to determine value then I'd be extremely curious how you think he comes up with numbers.

Isn't Dan Bailey under contract/kicking for Minnesota?

He might be. I thought I read somewhere he was a free agent...

Belichick was willing to trade Gronk to the Lions in 2018 for a 1st round pick, but Gronk said he would retire.

Gronk has a far better resume than Ghost & in his prime he was worth far more than a 1st round pick.

Then why would Belichick trade a guy who many consider the best TE of all time and a sure first ballot hall of fame member?

Belichick knew more than anyone that Gronk
Was on the decline & he ended up retiring after the season. His 2018 numbers were by far the worst of his career.

We all love Gronk, but Belichick made the right call.

That there is a problem in the kicking game that only a blind person would deny.

Based on what ? 4 games ? Again, do you understand percentages and probabilities ?

luuked said:

That is a nice story but a) has absolutely nothing to do with how BB uses or is not using past performance to evaluate players and b) we would have not even been at the SB without Gronk.

Wanna try again ?

I was told there would be no math. I know what I see. Anyway, get well soon Ghost and hope we get a more reliable kicker in the meantime.

The truth is Ghost could have missed another 10 EXtra Points this season and his apologists would still defend him
